if i buy an upgrade it will be registered to someone else even if i put my own sim in and so they can even tho i cant see why they should have an incentive theoretically get it cancelled once i buy it right?

so is it a risk for me to buy an un opened upgrade rather than a mobile registered in my own name from my network?

if ive only got 572mb of space left on my harddrive i should still be able to burn a cd using itunes or media player right?

The risk is there - the whole idea was to stop people selling stolen phones as the real owner could have it barred.
If it's someone you know, then I can't see a problem but if it's a stranger, you have no proof it's an upgrade rather than stolen. Having said that I have bought several phones form the local classifieds and never had a problem...
